Ms Carol Boate:

Yes. We have a variety of different reports on how many people are playing, how many tickets are sold each draw, how many people are playing online and in store, how many people are going online each week over a quarter, how much they are spending, trends in the spend, how many people are self-excluding and how many are spending up to a limit. We have broad oversight of that area. Both online and retail experienced surges in spending on the lotto specifically.
